       :bc: Attention Beige Party-goers! :bc:GREAT NEWS! After much struggle, I have finally settled on a Postgres migration strategy that I'm comfortable with. It's going to mean 2-3 hours of downtime but it has the advantage of leaving the old database intact so I can roll back in case something goes horribly wrong, which is nice. I did a dry run last night and everything went smoothly, so I feel good about moving forward with the actual database migration now. So, what this means is that we now have a date for when we will upgrade to Mastodon 4.5. I am going to do this in 3 stages. The first, and most important is the migration to Postgres 17. That will happen this Sunday night, May 31st/June 1st. The second stage will happen a week later, on June 7th/8th. The third and final stage will occur on June 14/15. This last stage will be the actual upgrade to Mastodon 4.5.The dry run took about 2 and 1/2 hours, so I am going to plan for a 4 hour maintenance window to account for any hiccups that might occur. The maintenance window will start at 3AM UTC on Monday, June 1st and continue until 7AM. In the Western Hemisphere, that's 11PM EDT on Sunday the 31st until 3AM on the 1st. I don't anticipate the site being down for the full 4 hours, but we will definitely experience at least 2 hours of downtime while I am performing the database migration. As always, be prepared for the site to go down at any time during the maintenance window.If everything goes well with the database migration I will post a new announcement sometime next week confirming the next maintenance window scheduled for the following Sunday, June 7th. Thanks for bearing with me as I figure this out. The good news is that after this migration everything will be containerized, so upgrades should be a lot simpler in the future. I really do appreciate you all hanging on with this (at times) rickety trolley.Thanks, and Beige-bless :bb:

       @TheEddieShow @theropologist Is there any active moderator to escalate beige.party’s issue with showing explicit porn to minors, without warning, in profile pictures, can be escalated to? I tried to contact the admin both in public and private for 3 weeks to no avail. https://fedi.aria.dog/notice/B66M3SboajcR74SmX2

       Gonna make damn sure beige.party can’t pretend they got no reports, you know i save receipts of everything.I’m tired as hell that cissies are extended grace for serious transgressions while you’d be at the throat of any trans girl if it happened on her server.RE: https://fedi.aria.dog/objects/2a9535f8-8755-4da5-9171-74cee9ad5620

       @Alsvid the thing that pisses me off the most is that if it were a server run by trans women you bet everyone would love to end them if any issue went unmoderated for like, 12 hoursbut instead it’s run by the type of cishet guys who are really concerned about performing allyship so they’re gonna tolerate the part their mods go awol for entire weeks

       @Alsvid we’re literally on the one goddamn network with a built-in feature that works everywhere to add a warning for explicit pictures!! nobody gonna get on their case for posting porn!! just make sure it only reaches adults who consent to it ffs

       Beige.party has started to send me reports against myself instead of addressing the part where they are now a fully unmoderated server.

       “What a whining thing” - it pisses people off so bad when women raise their voice about issues they gotta tell call them “things”
